Mlle. Bonval as Celie in L'Ingenue à la Cour by Empis, Theatre Royal de l'Odeon, 1846: A Captivating Portrayal of French Theatrical Fashion This exquisite handcoloured lithograph, entitled "Mlle. Bonval as Celie in L'Ingenue à la Cour," offers a glimpse into the world of French theatrical fashion during the mid-19th century. The image, taken from Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris, showcases the captivating performance of Mlle. Bonval as Celie in the play L'Ingenue à la Cour, which was staged at the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in 1846. The lithograph, produced by Empis and illustrated by Alexandre Lacauchie, depicts Mlle. Bonval in an elegant and sophisticated costume. Celie, the character she portrays, is a soubrette, a type of comic character who often appears in French plays of the time. Her role is typically that of a servant or maid, but she is also known for her quick wit and charm. Mlle. Bonval's costume is a stunning example of the elaborate and intricately detailed garments worn on the French stage during this period. Her dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and features a low-cut neckline, revealing a hint of cleavage. The bodice is fitted and cinched at the waist, accentuating her figure. She wears a long, flowing skirt that trails behind her, adding to the overall effect of grandeur and elegance. The lithograph also offers a glimpse into the setting of the play, with the ornate decorations of the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon visible in the background. The theatre, which was located in Paris, was known for its high-quality productions and was a popular destination for the city's elite. Overall, this handcoloured lithograph is a fascinating window into the world of French theatrical fashion during the mid-19th century, offering a glimpse into the elaborate costumes and intricate details that brought plays to life on the stage.
